Broken Chords: A Curvy Girl Meets Rockstar Romance

by C.D. Gorri

One hit made him a star. One woman made him a man. Now he needs both back to survive.

Nathan Thorn has been living in the shadow of a single song for years. Broken Chords—his one and only hit—shot him into the spotlight, but when his muse left him, so did the magic.
And without her? The music never came back.
Now Nathan’s crawling home to Hammonton, New Jersey, chasing a comeback that feels more like a last chance.
But the moment he walks into Bosco’s Baked Goods and sees Adrianna Bosco, his first love, the woman who inspired every lyric of Broken Chords, he knows exactly what he’s been missing.
Adrianna has no intention of letting the boy who shattered her heart waltz back into her life, no matter how good he looks with a guitar slung over his shoulder. She’s built her world on sugar, spice, and hard work, and she’s not about to let him wreck it again.
But Nathan is determined. He wants her forgiveness, her fire, her sweetness—and the second chance he’s never stopped craving. Because the truth is, he doesn’t just need her for the music.
He needs her for everything.
Can a rockstar whose chords went silent win back the only woman who ever made him sing?

Rockstar romance with a curvy FMC? Yes, please! Broken Chords is a must-read rockstar romance. I devoured it in one sitting. The book has it all - young love, heartbreak, drama, redemption and steamy romance. It will have you feeling all the feels, laughing, swooning and fanning yourself. This story follows Nathan and Adrianna, childhood sweethearts who were separated for 16 years. They never moved on from each other and this became clear when they met again and despite the pain and hurt of the past, the spark never died. If you're looking for a swoon worthy and steamy rockstar romance, look no further.

REVIEW
When his life changed, he left her standing there.
She was his muse, his love, his everything.
It took Nathan years to figure it out, and when he did, he assumed Adrianna would still be there.

Adrianna never stopped loving him, but life happened, she has changed, and she has even more responsibilities now. Can she ever open her heart to him again.
Can the music flow again for these two.
This story was super sexy hot, but it tugs on your heartstrings.

This is one of the best second chance reads I've ever read. 16 years ago Nathan Thorn walked away from the best thing he ever had with Adrianna Bosco. Yes, he became a famous rocker but what happens when he can't write a song for the life of him, when he realizes what he gave up should have never happened. Is he 16 years too late? I couldn't put this down once I started it. It's fast and sweet and steamy, well written and I loved it.

Captivating Read

A truly beautiful and deeply felt read which took me on a journey of lost love, childhood promises and a HEA I could cry over!

A heart-felt entertaining emotional read of highs and lows with romance and love that’s off the charts.

This is an unforgettable storyline that will touch your heart and stay in your memories for a long time.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the story I wish I got read in one seating the one I don’t want to put down! Don’t want to be a responsible adult and put the book down and go to bed because I have to work!! The steam coming from the pages will pull you in and make you wish you didn’t have any responsibility but to read all day every minute of the day!!

[Diana Page · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adrianna and Nathan’s story is 16 years in the making and C.D.Gorri wrote them the best “I’ll burn the world down for her” story for them. We get a love story, a Sigma International cameo and a bit of mafia strong arming attempts ! This one had it all and great characters to boot ! 5✨’s for a well crafted love story.

This Second Chance at Love Romance Story pulls on the Heartstrings and grabs your attention from the beginningand holds onto it until the end. Even with the 16 years apart their chemistry is off the charts. It has many twists, turns, danger, fake relationsip that turns real, and a HEA that has to be worked for. This is an amazing story.

[Terry · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn't stop reading this wonderful book. The way they parted was heartbreaking. When they meet up again, she's surprised and not willing to accept him into her life again. She is his muse, but can he survive without her? What if he disappears again?

[Lori Hammons · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nate and Adrianna's story tugged on my heartstrings. It makes you believe in second chances. Past tragedies, a little suspense, and spunky tween, and lots of love make this an amazing book.

[Jill Schoenmehl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nathan and Adrianna were separated for 16 years because of his music stardom. The trials of their separation comes through when they meet up again.
This is a must read love story.
Enjoy reading!
